Toy2R drops an advanced look at the lineup of designs from the cast of international artists participating in the Skelanimals Qee Project. Each designer was asked to submit designs of their own interpretation of Skelanimals using the Qee platform. To bring both worlds closer together, Toy2R has worked closely with the Skelanimals team to create the core characters in Qee form.

Series 1 will feature the Skelanimals characters Chungkee and Marcy as the platforms for design. Series 2, planned for the winter, will feature Dax, Kit and Jack, all in Qee form. And just like regular Qees, each figure will include a keychain attachment.

Series 1 will include designs by Jon-Paul Kaiser, Reactor 88, Julie West, Lunabee, Frank Mysterio, Jim Koch, Chauskoski and Voltaire. There will also be variant chase versions inserted randomly in the 25pc counter displays, as well as original classic styles of each Skelanimal character.

Toy2R expects to release Series 1 of the Skelanimals Artist Qee Collection in late July to early August. Early word has it that there will be some exclusive pre-launch figures available during this year's San Diego Comic-Con event. Expect the blind boxed assortment to retail for about $9.99 each.
